<p>Load a TrueType or OpenType font file, and create a font object.
This function loads a font object from the given file, and creates
a font object for a font of the given size.

This function requires the _imagingft service.

A truetype font file.  Under Windows, if the file
   is not found in this filename, the loader also looks in Windows

<dl>
<dt><b>ImageFont</b> (class)  [<a href='#PIL.ImageFont.ImageFont-class'>#</a>]</dt>
<dd>
<p>The <b>ImageFont</b> module defines a class with the same name.
Instances of this class store bitmap fonts, and are used with the
<b>text</b> method of the <b>ImageDraw</b> class.
</p><p>
PIL uses it's own font file format to store bitmap fonts. You can
use the <b>pilfont</b> utility to convert BDF and PCF font
descriptors (X window font formats) to this format.
</p><p>
Starting with version 1.1.4, PIL can be configured to support
TrueType and OpenType fonts.  For earlier version, TrueType
support is only available as part of the imToolkit package
